Sony asks us to ‘see the future’ of PlayStation on February 20th (update: WSJ rumors)

What’s this? A Sony invite to “see the future” of PlayStation on February 20th in New York City? From the looks of the very tease-y clip Sony’s released (found just beyond the break), it’s clearly PlayStation related. Perhaps involving a certain codenamed “Orbis” project? The company’s official PlayStation Twitter account says “See the future” and pushes followers to this website, where invitees can sign up and everyone can see the aforementioned video.

We’ll find out soon enough what the tease is about, as we’ve just finished up registration. From the video … well, the future features the same triangle, circle, square, and cross buttons, apparently. A recent report detailed some specs for Sony’s rumored next PlayStation, including an eight core AMD64 CPU and an AMD R10XX GPU — specs that may change dramatically before we hear anything official. Could this be the first volley in Sony’s rollout of the next PlayStation?
